Thermosetting Compression Moulding is a manufacturing process crucial in creating durable and heat-resistant components. This technique involves using thermosetting polymers, which are materials that undergo a chemical change when heated, resulting in a permanent set. The ultimate goal of this process is to produce high-quality, robust parts with specific properties ideal for various industrial applications.

    The process begins with placing a pre-measured amount of thermosetting resin into a heated mould cavity. As the mould is closed, heat and pressure are applied, initiating the chemical reaction in the resin. This reaction, known as curing or cross-linking, transforms the resin into a hardened, irreversible state. The result is a component with superior mechanical properties, such as high strength, resistance to deformation, and excellent thermal stability.
